Looks like a very fancy gizmo for a very mundane task. And it is, until you realize how many zillions of miles of roads are out there and how little distance one guy could cover if he was having to make note all the defects in a road surface by hand.

  1. Well, let's see what becomes of the sections of road, so scientifically analyzed and Doctored. How many more months of Pothole Free service will the New and Improved surface deliver compared to the places where they go out, get the debris out,pack,fill,pack,with gravel, load the last few inches with asphalt and gravel,pack, seal from water.. And call it done. I'm betting a proper job ,someone paying attention and doing it right based on nothing more than what is visible would deliver almost the same results without anywhere near the cost. I'm sure that machine doesn't need maintenance and they won't declare
    We can't fix anything right now. We're waiting on parts to fix the machine.Ever..
    BoyOhBoy! If the Romans had had That thing,, I'll bet Their roads would have lasted longer.
